Cristiano Ronaldo endured a frustrating night in Portugal's 0-0 draw in the Republic of Ireland as he was shackled by defenders preventing him from adding to his world record of 115 international goals.
But it wasn't just Irish defenders making a beeline for the Manchester United star, with fans also desperate to come face-to-face with the football icon in Dublin.
One young fan breached security at the final whistle as she made her way onto the pitch to greet the 36-year-old, holding back the tears as she edged closer him.
Although security soon caught up with her, Ronaldo appeared relaxed enough to allow the security to let her through, also aided by nearby Ireland players.
